Just a fun idea I had. We should collect a list of interested parties
for an April tournament, best of 10 (permitting use of doubling cube)
per match, maybe with a $5 buy-in per person

(winner gets 90% of funds, 10% of money goes toward paying VPS bill)

Playing for nothing is also fine but $5 feels like enough to stake
that the games would be a little more interesting but nothing to get
upset over.

Best of 10 may sound like a lot but incorporating the doubling cube,
1 game becomes 2 becomes 4 becomes 8 potentially very quickly... playing
with a small number of games per "match" gives RNG an advantage over
skill, which is something to be avoided
